Mr. Weldon James
c/o The Courier -Journal
Louisville, Kentucky
Dear Mr. James:
In yesterday's mail I received a letter from my parents enclosing
a clipping of your 14 April editorial in the Courier -Journal. I want to
offer my warmest congratulations on a very fine piece of writing and to
express my admiration at your more than symbolic personal gesture
attesting to the intensity and sincerity of the convictions you express so
ably. Your prose in a model of hard-hitting argument, your supporting
evidence well grounded in fact (a rarity these days), your logic cogent, and
your case (to me) entirely persuasive ?- though here you were preaching
to the already converted.
I had the pleasure of meeting you. briefly, at the Bill Dudley
dinner in the fall of 1953. If you ever get to Washington, please give me
a call so nick up our conversation whore we loft it over twelve,
years agor7 I
congratulations on a courageous personal gesture and a
first rate contribution to public enlightenment on the complex issue of
Vietnam. As a small token of unsolicited esteem, I am enclosing copies
of a couple of pieces I have done on this general area which you may find
of interest.
Sincerely yours,
A5/
George A. Carver, Jr.
